Frege The Pure Business of Being True

This is a book about Frege, his contribution to philosophy in general, thus his claim to be a great philosopher. It concerns truth, thought (the thinkable), logic (the most general structure of truth and falsehood), the relation of logic to what thinkers think, and, to a small extent, the space between the notions human being and rational being.
